Last night, owing to
the negligence of the
employees of the Rough
and Ready Railroad, a
train on the Bugle city
branch ran into an open
switch near Smiths
Corners. The whole
train was derailed, and
one car rolled down a
400-foot embankment.
AS the passengers were
all habitual travellers on
this road, they had
been toughened to such
treatment and no one
was killed.

The United States Commissioner of
Statistics at Washington computes the
amount OF money annually spent i'll this
country for Intoxicating drinks at
100000 900 He estimates that one
fourth Of our entire population indulge
in intoxicants, and figures out that
these drinkers, on the average, spend
$47.41 year each for the gratifica-
lions of their appetites, and consume
about gallon each week of spirits,
wine and beer. These are big and
startling figures, but if the statistician
could describe in detail the amount of
crime, poverty and wretchedness to in
dividuals and families that flow out of
this m0nstrous traffic, what horrible
record he would give us.-ChicGg0
Journal.
Many persons have wrong impress
sion when they read statements like
the above in respect to the enormous
consumption of intoxicating liquors.
They believe it mere guess work, with
out any just claim to accuracy. Such
persons ought TO know that every gal
Ion of intoxicating liquor manufacture
ed and put upon the market is taxed
by the government, and if such tax is
not paid heavy penalty is incurred.
The Internal Revenue Office at Wash
ington keeps as correct record of the
yearly amount of Intoxicating liquors
manufactured as is kept by another de.
partment in respect to the amount of
bank circulation.

WOMEN AS VOTERS.

The silly attempt of some few news.
papers in this state to make it appear
that it is only the coarser and ill.bred
women who want to vote will fail to
prejudice intelligent people. There is
probably no city in the state that has a
larger number of educated and refined
ladies in proportion to the population
than Whitewater. The Register, pub.
lished in that city, an ably conducted
paper, in an article on woman voting,
opens as follows
1.-THE fact that 256 women cast their
ballots at the ward polls on Tuesday
of last week for school officers is a
notable one i'll the history of our city.
1t shows that the personal interest
which women take in the suffrage
privilege has been moderated. That
more than One-fourth as many women
as men should avail themselves of the
privilege of going to the ballot box as
voters, in spite of all the hesitancy and
reluctance which naturally would be
felt by them on taking such first step,
is significant proof of the earnestness
and sincerity with which they welcom Q
the privilege even as limited as it is"

"REMINISCENCES OF THE LATE
HARVEY DURKEE.

An obituary notice was furnished
the TELEGRAPH last week by a friend
familiar with his history, giving some
of the prominent facts in his life. A
few additional incidents and traits OF
character are given this week, particu,

from most of his business occupations

more generally to the pursuit of farm.
ing. He was the owner at different
times of we'll cultivated farms not far
from the city. but the principal one to
which he was strongly attached was a
farm of about a thousand acres in a
compact body, situated in the town OF
Pleasant Prairie, about two miles from
the city. AS farmer Mr.. Durkee
was noticeable for neatness in all his
farm arrangements: his fences were
all constructed after the same pattern
and substantial; his agricultural ma
chinery was always Of the best, latest
and most improved kinds. His stock
was of the choicest sort. Whatever
was unsightly on the farm was re-
moved; in fact his farm became q
pleasure resort during favorable sea-
sons of the year. He was not sparing
of land when any was wanting for
pleasant drives or recreation, being

Rev. o. B. Thayer, formerly of this
place, is with us again. and viii in all
likelihood take charge of his old ap-
pointments.
As exaggerated and grossly false re-
ports have been circulated regarding the
ministerial character of this gentleman,
all of which originated from wretched
ignorance Or wilful misapprehension
Of the facts in the case-I say, owing to
these calumnies, and in justice both to
Mr.. Thayer and his many friends-I
consider it high time the public were
acquainted with the true particulars.
The following are conclusive and most
satisfactory proofs of the utter falseness
of aforesaid reports. Comment is I'M
necessary. Suffice it to say, that the first
letter is from the County Judge of De
Witt county, ILL.,, one cognizant in gen.
eral and particular with the matter in
question. The second is an official and
honorable letter of dismissal from the
Presbytery of Bloomington, H., to that of

ADJOURNMENT.

The legislature of this state finally
adjourned on Friday last, the 18th
inst. 1t is always easy to find fault
and no one will pretend the action Of
the Legislature has been faultless. II
has passed some acts which should
not have become laws; rejected some
bills which should have been enacted
and omitted taking action on some inn.
portant measures which had been
brought before it. If it were proper to
charge The legislature with any one
fault, it would be that of cowardice
Questions arise in legislative bodies
which plainly have but one right side,
but members dare not vote on that
side, as their better Judgment dictates,
fer fear of giving offence to class of
voters whose favor will be indispensi-
BILE to a reelection. There is as much
legislation in these days which is con-
trolled by policy, to conciliate and
strengthen the party, as is actuated by
principle independent of party. 1t APP
pears that more than usual number
of new and inexperienced men were in
the legislature the past session. 1t is
quite too much the practice to select
candidates simply for their available
ty in securing votes, and without spe-
cial regard to their experience and
ability to frame wise laws. The legis-
lature just closed was probably as fair
body of men as the average of pre-
ceding years. The Senator and Men,
Der of Assembly from this county have
been favorably noticed.
